actors that you really like

[tangey]

Sort of the opposite to the other current thread. These are actors that if you see they are in something is enough on it's own for you to assume it'll be worth watching.

I'll start with 6 that immediately spring to mind for me. (added clint !)

Denziel Washington
Tom Hanks
Julia Roberts
Tom Cruise
Kevin Costner
Clint

For sure each of them have done stuff that isn't great, but more so very early in their careers. And yes I guess as you get a higher profile the parts and movies offered are going to be a higher calibre, but even so for those listed above, the quality of the diverse roles they have all played gets them onto my list.

 

[Smeghead]

Javier Bardem
Olivia Colman
Carey Mulligan
Emily Blunt

Dunno if it counts as he's passed away now, but Toshiro Mifune also. Austin Butler really impressed me in Elvis, and apparently he's good in Dune pt2, but I think he's very new, so I'll keep my eye out for him for now.

 

[Semple]

Tom Hanks
Morgan Freeman
Samuel Jackson
Leonardo DiCaprio
Keanu Reeves
Jason Statham

And of course Margot Robbie

 

[Freakbro]

Outside of the main big names I've always had a soft spot for John Cusack

 

[sither]

Denzel washington
Leonardo DiCaprio
tom cruise
al pacino
johnny depp
robert de niro
John Cusack
cillian murphy

 

[rp2000]

Denzel Washington
Tom Cruise
Dwayne Johnson

I think I've seen every movie these 3 guys have been in. Not sure if I can say the same for any other big actors and these 3 cover quite a few decades.

[Bubo]

Sir Patrick Stewart
Sir Ian Mckellan
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Tom Hiddlestone
Jason Isaacs

To name a few brits.

 

[robfosters]

I don't know if you are including actors who are no longer with us, but I don't care.

I don’t think I will ever like another actor as much as John Candy. I absolutely loved that guy. He was a very special person.

 

[GlitterBalls]

John Candy was special indeed, I loved him.

 

[JamesH85]

Denzel Washington
Morgan Freeman
Christian Bale
Anthony Hopekins
Tom Hanks
Michael Caine

Many more.

 

[Bluecube]

Charlize Theron
Scarlett Johansson

and not just because they’re pretty faces. Two genuinely great actresses who ensure that I’ll watch a film if they’re in it. I can’t say that about many actors or actresses

 

[SixTwoSix]

Ana De Armas - no idea what her acting skills are like however

 

[BeeP]

Bobby Deniro
Gary Oldman
Denzel W
Chris Walken
Dennis Hopper
Christian Bale
Michael Caine

Ok so not always in the best films but I always enjoy their performances, Bobby D has kind of become his own parody now but as an actor he was the dude.
